Template: Reading Quran Record

Template LINK

Ramadhan is related to reading Quran. About a few years ago, I made a point of finishing reading the Quran during the month of Ramadhan; on some year I did, on others I didn’t and only managed to khatam(finish) after Ramadhan ended.

Along the process, I discovered it easier if reading the Quran can be divided during the day. There are ~600 pages, so you need to read around 20 pages a day, and 4 pages after every solat. However with working and your Quran not with you all the time, it’s a bit difficult to keep track. Some people bring their own Quran everywhere, so that’s one way of doing it. I alternate between the physical copy and also reading on the phone app, hence the need for a record, and the creation of this template.

While I was at it, I thought why not a record of whether I went to terawikh or not (sadly sometimes I didn’t manage) and also how much I gave sadawah(alms). I believe as long as you don’t advertise to the world, there’s no harm and it encourages you to continue and not break the streak.

I used Notion but you can certainly use any app (or thing, like paper?) but I prefer Notion since it:

• has many views, or can easily make new ones (compared to Excel)
• mobile version is good
• relatively fast (compared to Evernote)
• has some beautiful flairs (photo covers, emoji icons – compared to simple iOS notes)

I hope the template is useful and appreciate any feedbacks.
